Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Temple of Fire Vines, the Island Country of the East China Sea (8)

After the three samurai took their seats, Toyotomi Hideyoshi coughed lightly and continued to comment. Song Ming, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, didn't know about the festival between them, and introduced in a low voice: "These three are all famous young samurai in Toei, the one in the middle is named Niwa Nagato, his father was originally Oda Nobunaga's right-hand man, because he admired his father very much, so he changed his name to the same name as his father, also called Niwa Nagato, hoping to inherit his father's honor." The two next to him are named Kojima Kura and Daoguang Temple.,It's.。。。 Few... Young master?" Song Ming suddenly found that Nangong Yu had stood up and slowly walked towards Niwa Nagato. Xiao Yunxi was also puzzled: "Brother Nangong?"

The whole audience sat on their knees, and he stood up very conspicuously at once, and even Toyotomi Hideyoshi stopped speaking and looked at him in surprise. Nangong Yu only had Niwa Changteng in his eyes, his gaze had already locked on him, and his powerful aura was heading towards him. Niwa Nagato showed a fierce look in his eyes, pushed away the short table, suddenly got up, and shouted in stiff Chinese: "What do you want to do!" Nangong Yu said coldly: "Did you kill Kou Jingjing?" Niwa Nagato, who was holding a long knife, was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and sneered: "You mean the woman who died in Xia Ke Mountain? Do you want to avenge her?"

Nangong Yu stopped talking, his true qi condensed in his fingers, and galloped away. Niwa Nagato dodged sideways and took the long knife out of its sheath, raised it with both hands, and shouted, "Cut!" Slashed his neck, and a gust of wind immediately blew in the hall, which showed the strength of the sword. Nangong Yu didn't move, his two fingers suddenly changed direction, pierced the sword wind, and accurately clamped the blade, and the sharp slash was blocked by two fingers, and everyone in the audience let out an exclamation.

Niwa Nagato's face turned red, and he pulled out his knife vigorously but didn't move, Nangong Yu said: "Give it back to you." Saying that, Qu finger flicked on the sword, "ding" a dragon roar, Niwa Nagato took three steps back, the hand holding the sword trembled violently, and hurriedly held the handle with both hands to stabilize the sword, his eyes shot a look of shock, but he was also not afraid, put the sword back into the scabbard, bent his knees, and made a sword draw, it seemed that he wanted to use the 'knife drawing style'.

Nangong Yu was just a small test just now, he clenched his fists lightly, his eyes shot an unprecedentedly strong battle intent, and he took a step forward. At this moment, Zhu Ce suddenly said: "Yu'er, stop! Hugh is messing around!" As soon as he shouted, Nangong Yu's momentum weakened by three points, and he quickly adjusted his mood, unwilling to be affected, and continued to stare at Niwa Changteng. Niwa Nagato didn't move, his eyes sparkled, and he was also waiting for an opportunity.

Zhu Ce saw that Nangong Yu was indifferent, and shouted: "Yu'er, what are you going to do, don't be rude!" Nangong Yu thought that the enemy who killed his wife was right in front of him, how could he let him go after waiting for so many years. But if you ignore your father, it will damage his prestige, and it is not the right thing for a son to do.

When he was in a dilemma, Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually opened his mouth in fluent Chinese and said with interest: "It's okay. Zhu Jun, we should respect the courage of men when they draw their swords, they are fighting for honor. In our Dongying, two men draw their swords at the same time is an approved duel, and no one has the right to interfere. Zhu Jun might as well sit down and watch the battle. Zhu Ce looked at Nangong Yu and sighed, Song Yi gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and he sat down.

Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and faced Niwa Nagato again. Niwa Nagato's state has been raised to the peak, and when he finds that his momentum has weakened, how can he let go of the opportunity, and after taking a step, he pulled out the long knife again, and a huge wave of qi came over. Nangong Yu condensed his true qi and used the word "grasp" to tear the qi wave apart. At that moment, everyone saw a flame coming out of his hand, and they all thought they were dazzled and surprised. Nangong Yu then used the "Flower Field Drunken Moon Step" to separate two phantoms, and the real body came behind Niwa Nagato, and slashed at his back with the word "chop". Niwa Nagato has also made great progress in recent years, and hurriedly stepped forward and turned around to split the knife. Who knew that Nangong Yu rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye, and changed seventeen fingerings in a row, attacking Niwa Nagato all over his body one after another.

Niwa Chang Teng retreated while flashing, Nangong Yu was too close to him, and the long knife was difficult to use, but no matter how he retreated, Nangong Yu entangled him like a shadow, just not giving him a chance to use the knife. Niwa Nagato changed several hand-to-hand defense techniques, holding the hilt upside down with the intention of forcing Nangong Yu away, but who knew that the threat was not big, but Nangong Yu was caught by the blade with two fingers and attacked with the other hand. The long knife is the soul of Niwa Changten, and he clung to it, grabbing the knife while dodging, but where did he come over, he was pointed at by Nangong Yu's two fingers in the middle waist and poked two holes. He stepped back with a muffled grunt, his long knife out of his hand.

Nangong Yu took the long knife with his hand, looked at the blade as sharp as water, and thought that it was this murder weapon that killed Kou Jingjing, and at that moment, the blade began to tremble slightly, and with a "bang", the treasure knife made of pure steel was torn apart. Nangong Yu threw half of the handle of the knife at the feet of Niwa Nagato and looked at him coldly. Niwa Nagato covered the bloody hole in his waist, his face was pale, and he suddenly said, "I lost!" After that, he untied his belt, revealing his belly without a trace of fat, knelt on his knees, held the handle of the knife upside down, and prepared to commit suicide by cutting his abdomen.

Daoguang Temple, who came with him, stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and said, "Niwa-kun, no!" Niwa Nagato knelt on the ground with his waist straight, not afraid of death at all, and said loudly: "I have been defeated, the sword has been broken, please do not stop Daoguang-kun from defending the last honor of the samurai." Daoguang Temple said: "Brother Niwa, you are not defeated, you are already seriously injured, you might as well wait until you are injured before challenging him." Only by defeating him can you regain your honor. ”

Nangong Yu said with a smile: "Injury? This reason is not bad." Niwa Nagato said angrily: "Don't say it, Daoguang-kun, I don't want to show weakness in front of the enemy." Daoguang Temple said earnestly: "What I said is the truth, believe it or not." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi said: "Niwa-kun, if you are really injured, please tell the truth." Niwa Nagato was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes! The subordinate was indeed injured during the mission. Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded and said, "Daoguang Temple is right, you haven't completely failed, and there is still a chance to challenge Nangong Jun after the injury is healed." Get up. ”

Niwa Nagato gritted his teeth, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered him not to disobey, so he had to get up and say, "Yes." Turning to face Nangong Yu and said, "When I get better, I will challenge you again!" Nangong Yu said lightly: "How long do you want me to wait?" Niwa Nagato said: "One month, one month at most." Nangong Yu said: "Okay, next time you lose, you don't have to cut your belly, I will kill you with my own hands." With that, he returned to his seat.

The injured Niwa Nagato did not leave, and insisted on listening to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's speech. After speaking, Toyotomi Hideyoshi walked towards the staircase, and when he passed by Zhu Ce, he whispered a few words to him, and Zhu Ce was grateful.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi left, everyone slowly followed him downstairs, and everyone looked at him curiously when they passed by Nangong Yu, especially Oda Hideko and Tokugawa Hidetada. Tokugawa Hidetada wanted to come up and talk to him, but when he saw Xiao Yunxi at the same table, he went downstairs with a smile.

It wasn't until everyone went downstairs that Zhu Ce and Song Yi came over, and Zhu Ce said with a smile: "General Toyotomi said to me just now that I admire you very much, and I hope that my father can persuade you to stay, and he will entrust you with important tasks." Nangong Yu sighed: "The child has to think about it." Zhu Ce said: "It's okay." General Toyotomi invited his father and your Uncle Song to go to Nara for seven days, you can think about it, and hope to hear your good news when you return. Nangong Yu nodded in agreement.

They left Luyuan Temple together, the four guards had been waiting outside the temple, Zhu Ce and Song Yi got into the carriage, and when they were about to separate, Nangong Yu remembered something and called Zhu Jun aside to say about himself and Zhu Xinqi. Knowing that the two had gotten married, Zhu Jun was overjoyed, Nangong Yu wanted to bow to him as a gift to his father-in-law, but Zhu Jun didn't dare to accept it, and then Nangong Yu said some of Zhu Xinqi's recent situation, please rest assured. After Zhu Jun said some words of blessing with relief, the two groups of people said goodbye to each other. Xiao Yunxi led Nangong Yu towards home.
